Read this first

This process is set out in the Copyright and Trademark Complaints policy. The operator is Cameron Profitt. No designated agent is registered with the United States Copyright Office, and nothing here is a statement that any statutory scheme or safe harbour applies. We aim to acknowledge a complaint within 3 business days and finish a first review within 10 business days. These are targets, not guarantees. A person reviews every complaint. Reviewers are not a court.

What happens

Your complaint is stored for staff only. If it is accepted on its face the game is removed from listings and can no longer be launched. That cannot erase copies already downloaded to players' devices or copies elsewhere. The creator is told the kind of complaint and the work you rely on and may respond with a counter-notice. We do not give them your name or contact details unless you agree, the law requires it, or they need them to respond to legal action you have started or threatened. How we handle your details is in the Privacy Policy.
